About the SB160
The SB160 is pure enduro race machinery. It builds on the legacy of the SB150, a bike that won 49 EWS stages and 11 EWS races, and pushes the platform further with updated suspension, improved stiffness and a more efficient frame layout. It is designed for riders who want a fast, balanced and highly capable bike for technical terrain.
Switch Infinity V2 Suspension
The SB160 uses the next generation of Yeti’s Switch Infinity translating pivot system. The updated design improves kinematics, sensitivity, strength and long term durability. It delivers a precise, supportive feel that stays active under load and maintains traction at high speed.
Refined Frame and Silhouette
The frame uses a tighter, more efficient layout that increases ground clearance and impact protection. Yeti has also tuned the carbon layup across all sizes to deliver consistent stiffness and ride feel for every rider. The result is a frame that is both compliant and precise.
Race Ready Geometry
The SB160 runs 29 inch wheels front and rear with 160mm rear travel and a 170mm fork. It is designed for steep, fast terrain and aggressive riding. Five size specific geometries ensure the bike handles consistently across the size range.
Practical Details
The SB160 includes internally routed cable tubes to eliminate rattle, a threaded bottom bracket for easier servicing, and the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) for simple replacement after a crash. The patented two piece wishbone shock extender improves shock compatibility, standover height and water bottle clearance.
Clearance and Compatibility
The frame offers 25mm more downtube clearance and room for 2.6 inch tyres. Floating collet pivot axles improve stiffness and bearing life. These details help the SB160 stay quiet, durable and easy to maintain.
Why Choose the SB160
The SB160 is built for riders who want a fast, capable and race proven enduro bike. It offers a balanced feel, strong pedalling support and confident handling at high speed. With its updated suspension, refined frame and proven race pedigree, it is a top choice for riders who want to push harder on technical trails.
